HSBC IB @ Dubai–How to break in now? Ex-intern at a boutique IB in Dubai, I'm an Indian

Hi guys, I graduate in May 2020–bad UG GPA but have done a PG Diploma of 1 year and will manage a 3.7 by the time i graduate. Have done 2 IB internships (1 w a global bank in India-think Wells Fargo/Nomura/DB/HSBC, and 1 boutique IB internship in Dubai, no return offer from either due to legit reasons.) I may know someone in Corporate Banking at HSBC Dubai–how do I go about winning a FT offer at HSBC IB in Dubai? I have a residence visa in Dubai.
